Ludwig Salvator: Reise um die Welt ohne zu wollen

Much research has been undertaken as fas as English-speaking travelers in the Victorian era are concerned. Clark's edited collection Travel Writing and Empire (1999) ad Bassett's Great Southern Landings: An Anthology of Antipodean Travel (1995) are cases in point. These and other works about travel have an Anglo-centric framework with reference points located within the culture that is described. Travel writing has been one of the burgeoning new topics in international literary studies, yet travel writing about Australia by non-English speaking writers has not been addressed by scholars to any significant degree. Indeed, the field is so underdeveloped that only recently the works of important travel writers such as Archduke Ludwig Salvator are translated into English.
